What sat nav?

uzzah

I have never owned a Sat Nav before.
I would like to buy one now, for hopefully under £150.

So any advice on what make: what model, ect. would be helpful.
It would be for the UK only. And preferably a 4.3 screen.

Many thanks.

I was in a similar position a while back - in the end I went for a Tom Tom One.

It is very easy to use and has not let me down.

I bought it from Halfords - well ordered on line and collected in store thereby saving a few quid.

Is it the best on the market, probably not but it gets me from A to B.

I've heard good report about Tom Tom and Garmin, but are there any make I should stay away from like navman and the RAC.

Thank you.

Having had a Navman I changed to a TomTom last year and have to say it is much much better. Really easy to use and gives clear instuructions and has a bloke with a very sexy Irish accent too!

Halfords have a deal on at the mo click here
and this code will bring the price down to £94.99 with free p&p HALTTUKV3

tomtom 520 has loads more features than the one but is quite cheap as it has been superseded by the 530 (which isn't much better)

That's cheep!

Is there any make that picks up the GPS quickly. I have been reading that some Sat Navs take up to 10 min; that would drive me crazy!
